Statistics and Probability was different than what I expected, because I was not expecting it to be able to connect to everyday life and potential career fields. I thought that it would be a simple math class and that I would not learn many new things, but rather I would just expand on the knowledge that I already had. However, I could not have been more wrong. Statistics and probability offers a wide array of knowledge for situations that are both predictable and unpredictable. For example, statistics and probability can impact our daily lives with simple things, such as while playing card games and calculating free throw percentages for a basketball player, but it can also be used to predict the weather and find people that have gone missing with different tracking devices. This knowledge that statistics and probability offers could help me in my career field because I am considering a career in the science field, specifically chemistry or physics, so it could help me find the probability that a solution will be effective among other things. It could also be helpful for predicting how chemical bonds will form, what the end result of an experiment will be, and making predictions about what pertains to how the universe operates and how it was ultimately formed. If I were to take another statistics and probability class, I would look forward to it because of the background knowledge I have attained and because of the potential it holds to help us further develop how we operate as a society. I would also look forward to the new knowledge that would be gained from a more advanced statistics and probability class. Statistics and probability knowledge allows for advancements in society and for a simpler life due to the potential and capabilities it holds. Overall, I enjoyed the class and would recommend it to others who are considering taking it and wish to learn more about statistics and probability.
